Event freight for the contractors who represent federal agencies.
Twenty minutes from the Beltway, 35 years shipping exhibit materials for contractors working on behalf of federal agencies — to events all over the country.
Contractors serving
We’ve handled event freight for contractors serving the Department of State, HUD, the Department of Energy & HHS. We work through the contractor rather than the agency — just another normal shipment that has to arrive on time and intact.

Three questions, answered before you ask
Will it arrive on schedule?
We work back from the show’s deadlines, not ours.
Will it arrive at all?
One coach owns it start to finish. You always know who to call.
Will it arrive in one piece?
Palletized and plastic-wrapped on our end, with packing coaching before it moves.

Learn about 360Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with agencies, or through contractors?
Through contractors. The contractor is our customer and your coach works directly with your team.
We exhibit at 25+ events a year. Can we schedule the whole year?
Yes. Send the year’s show calendar and, through NorthStar 360, we’ll prompt you ninety days before each one. Recurring shows get easier each time — once we have your process set up, the time managing event shipping decreases.
Can we store materials between events?
Yes. Short and long-term storage gives your display and materials somewhere to live between shows, and your coach ships straight from storage to the next event.
What’s it going to cost?
It depends on what’s moving, where and when — pickup, show requirements, the freight itself and the return trip. Tell your coach what you know, and we’ll guide you along to determine an estimate for shipping.
